By Sara Rosenberg

New York, July 26 - Rock Ohio Caesars LLC is set to hold a bank meeting on Wednesday to launch a proposed $125 million term loan, according to a market source.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. are the lead banks on the deal.

Unofficial price talk on the loan is being circulated as Libor plus 650 basis points with a 1.5% Libor floor and an original issue discount of 98, the source said.

The loan is non-callable for two years, then at 102 in year three and 101 in year four.

Proceeds will be used to help fund the development of casinos in Cleveland and Cincinnati.

Other funds for the transaction will come from a $62.5 million 12-month delayed-draw term loan, a $62.5 million 18-month delayed-draw term loan and $380 million of second-lien notes. The delayed-draw loans are not being syndicated.

Rock Ohio Caesars is a joint venture formed by Rock Gaming LLC and Caesars Entertainment Corp.
